Victor Garber biography

Titanic

Canadian born actor and singer Victor Garber grew up in London, Ontario where he began acting at the age of nine with a local children's theater group. At the age of 16, he studied at the University of Toronto's Hart House.

His first television appearance was on CBC's Paradise Lost. Soon after, he landed the leading role as Jesus in the Toronto production of Godspell alongside Martin Short and Andrea Martin. Victor's performance was so impressive that he was cast in the same role for the musical film adaptation (1973). Garber has had a successful stage career, appearing in plays such as Wiseguys, Arcadia, and Sweeney Todd. He has been nominated four times at the Tony Awards for his performances in Damn Yankees, Lend Me a Tenor, Deathtrap and Little Me.
